Abstract
Wastewater testing for SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a promising tool for disease surveillance in aggregate populations. We present a novel method to rapidly extract, concentrate, and amplify viral RNA from wastewater using Exclusion-based Sample Preparation (ESP) and RT-PCR. This technology identified potential outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 at University of Kentucky dormitories, resulting in targeted clinical testing and quarantine procedures.
